I don't, this is my third XJ, I buy XJ's because I put 1500 miles a week on them rain, sleet or snow for business and both of my previous Jeeps were over 300K before I managed to destroy them.

So, truthfully you know you drive an XJ when you choose to spend $300 a week on gas instead of buying a Prius simply because you like driving an XJ.
U have been a noob forever

YKYDAXJ when you buy it back after being totaled because you can't imagine getting rid of it (Or finding another one!)

YKYDAXJW your cousin asks if you have a spare piece of wire in you Jeep he can use to fix his car and the first place you look is under the dashboard for things you don't need.

I actually carry wire, so it's a bit easier for me lol. I have 14, 20, and 6ga, along with 14ga speaker wire and some shielded coax.
I should clean out my Jeep, but YKYDAXJ when you keep it all in there with crimpers so you can fix stuff as it breaks instead of waiting til you get home.

Daimler Chrysler... nuff said, it's like asking why they have German electronics. I just find it annoying how it has BOTH SAE and metric... wish they could just make up thier mind and choose one.

Your a dedicated FORD guy, but consider selling your Ranger and keeping the XJ even though it needs more work.
